“What Music Says about Our Lives—a Celebration!” is the title of the exciting public seminar that will take place on New Year’s Day, Thursday, Jan. 1, 2015 from 6:30 to 8 PM.

The speakers are musicians and educators. With musical examples from classical to jazz to rock ‘n’ roll—including music by Gershwin, Bach, Puccini, and more—they will present something the philosophy Aesthetic Realism explains: 1) what makes for the beauty of music, and 2) the fact that music shows how we can honestly know and like ourselves. The basis is this landmark principle stated by Eli Siegel, founder of Aesthetic Realism:

“All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.”
